In the first episode of Outside the Manosphere, Skip and Carlos introduce themselves and discuss why anyone would care to listen to two middle-aged men growing their friendship as they discuss the toxic manosphere that we are all navigating through. This conversation includes a nod to the manliness of testicle tanning and how not wiping one's butt is an actual thing in the manosphere. They also start getting to know each other again by asking the first of 36 questions to fall in love.
